Hi everyone. Halloween is coming up, which means it’s time for scary stories. Grab a stuffie and wrap yourself in a blanket as I tell a terrifying tale that will leave you with chills down your spine....

What melodies can be found in typography? (🔊 SOUND ON)The question popped into my head while I was experimenting with audio in VCV Rack. I imagined characters becoming a piano roll. Could I connect Processing? Once I had a proof of concept, I was hooked. Over the past few weeks, I built it out, adding features as I went.Processing sends MIDI note data — pitch, velocity, and gate — to VCV Rack. The tool is built on layered tracks: each track can be routed to its own channel and has tweakable options. You can change the character sequence, typeface, and clock speed. I’ve added multiple scales. Currently all in C, but I can imagine the system could grow into a full instrument. To prevent floods of notes, each track has a range control on the right: drag the top or bottom rows to set the active band.I had a lot of fun building this tool. It gave me a chance to combine my love for music with coding. For context, I’m a beginner in VCV Rack: most of my patches came from tutorials. If you’re experienced with VCV Rack, I’d love to see what you can make with it. There’s a download link on my website.➡️ I added a small tutorial in the last slide to get you started.Typefaces from the The font starter pack by @pangram.pangram. #vcvrack #processing #graphicdesign #creativecoding #genartclub #procedual #coding #motiongraphics #newmedia #new_media_art #digitalart #modernart #computerart #processing #contemporarytype #type01 #modularsynth #webgl #typespire #posterdesign #typedesign #typedaily #showusyourtype #kinetictypography #interactiondesign
